Voiceworks Issue #109 - Accepting submissions!

The theme of the 109th issue of Voiceworks is ‘Sprawl’, but you don’t have to stick to it. Their themes are a prompt more than anything else—a springboard to get the creative ideas flowing. Most of all, they just want good work. Their motto is…

—Themed work: good

—Good work: better

—Good themed work: BEST
